From the transcript
But I, I did put forward $700,000 because that is what Travel Juno spends on destination marketing. And I think in our current budget climate this year, and certainly next year, we have to decide what we're not going to do anymore as a community. Those are the choices before us, and I don't want to do things not well. I want to do them the way they're supposed to be doing them. And when I look at the survey results, this is the thing that the community, um, wants us to spend less money on if we have to choose.
